The history of Benjamin
The Benjamin Air Rifle Company was first established in 1902, in the great state of St. Louis, USA., by Mr Walter Benjamin.

The company suppy guns to the whole of America and in to 50 countries worls wide. Benjamin rifles are known mainly for value and quailty and their guns are amongst the very best sellers
We would recommend any of the Benjamin models especially if you are just starting out
Benjamin Sheridan Benjamin Trail NP Airguns
The Sheridan trail np gun is one of the most popular models. It has over 30 pounds of pressure which will shoot pellets at over 1000fps. This gives the gun the capacity to shoot small game as the pellets will have great penetration at this speed. Although this is one of our favourites i wouldnt recommend it for the younger user as it is 4ft long and really needs a fully grown adult to handle it

Benjamin 397 Air Rifle with 4X32 Rifle Scope
Cost around $250
The 397 rifle is a real American classic. This 177 calibre rifle is a pneumatics multi-pump action gun that is ideal for any type of target shooting you fancy. The brass barrel looks great coated in a lovely black finish and it can send pellets out at an amazing 800 fps. The speed can easily be adjusted by the number of pumps and you can do up to 8 for maximum velocity. This gun is easily one of our favourites and is on its way to becoming a best seller.Our research revealed the following things you will need to know about this gun.
The gun is extremely accurate, more so than most air rifles
Pumping is very easy, right up to the 8th pump
There is very little noise when firing
The life of the gun is not great. We found that between 600 - 700 shots it will need to be rebuilt with costs around $100
It is very heavy and although that may be a sign of build quality it may become uncomfortable if you are using it for too long
This Benjamin air rifle is a great entry level rifle that is really made for occasional use and wont be for the serious hunter.
Do you think there should be an age limit for buying an air rifle
